Great News on our Classic RKC Kettlebells!
A s most of you do know, Dragon
Door and Pavel were the first
to introduce kettlebells and
kettlebell training to the Western world—
after they had been all but forgotten and
discarded outside of the Eastern Bloc.
Thanks to Pavel’s inspirational vision
with the original Russian Kettlebell
Challenge book and DVD—and our
groundbreaking RKC kettlebell instructor
certification program—kettlebells caught
on like wild fire since we introduced them
in 2001.
Dragon Door not only manufactured
kettlebells from the get-go that are still
considered the Gold Standard worldwide,
but insisted on making them in the USA.
Pavel, in particular, wanted to express his
gratitude to the US for the freedoms and
opportunities he has been able to take
advantage of as a citizen of the US. We
resolutely and proudly held our ground
on US-made only.
Unfortunately the realities of the new
world economy have made it simply
untenable for us to continue to
manufacture our kettlebells exclusively in
the US.

Fortunately, we have been able to find a
reputable offshore source that is able to
supply us with exactly the same quality
and design of kettlebell as we are now
justly famous for, our classic black RKC-
brand kettlebells.

 “Based on painstaking, original research on subjects ranging from
untrained folks to members of the Danish Olympic team,
Viking Warrior Conditioning is a foolproof blueprint for achieving
Olympian conditioning in record time—while simultaneously
improving one's body composition dramatically. Master RKC,
Kenneth Jay, the warrior sage equally at ease with a heavy
kettlebell and with a force plate, shows you the way.”
—Pavel Tsatsouline, author of Enter the Kettlebell!
“Kenneth Jay has produced what may be the most eye-opening work on
VO2max training available today. Jay begins by taking the reader through
the fundamental scientific principles of top-level conditioning. His down-
to-earth writing takes the abstractions of calculations and puts them into
the tangibles of training. Continuing with a step-by-step description of his
Viking Warrior Conditioning regimes, Jay walks the reader through the
fine details of his method. His progression of kettlebell training regimens is
designed to take you from weekend wanna-be to victorious Viking.

Educational, entertaining, enlightening, and inspirational, Viking Warrior

Conditioning is sure to be a well read and re-read part of any elite coach,

MAKE YOUR BODY “COMBAT-READY”—
USING THE MOST POWERFUL SECRETS
OF THE ANCIENT CHINESE WARRIORS
Remarkable self-hitting system invigorates, strengthens and “weaponizes”—let’s
you repel strikes with effortless ease while dishing it out with formidable power…

Stephan Berwick’s True Strength™ regimen draws on
ancient Chinese warrior secrets to present a sophisticated
and highly effective program for developing formidable
internal power—without the help of any devices,
medicines, or forced breathing.
Most Western-based strength training programs
concentrate on building “external” muscular strength. But
that is only one link in the true strength chain—which
according to Chinese internal martial arts should also
include strengthening your fascia/tendons/ligaments, your
joints, your internal organs, your internal energy system
and even your skin.
Is your strength package
complete?
Without strengthening all the links in your strength-chain
simultaneously, you remain as vulnerable as the weakest
links in that chain. We’ve all see relatively small internal
martial arts masters throw apparently way stronger men
around like they were rag dolls. Some of this power
comes from martial skill, but much, much more it’s
coming from the uncanny strength-package the master
has developed from a truly all-around approach to
strength cultivation.
Many of these internal masters demonstrate this
astonishing strength well into their sixties, seventies—even
eighties. How do they do it?
Stephan Berwick likes to call this quality “Tangible, True
Strength”. The kind of strength
you really need to survive not
only a worst-case scenario in
combat or years of full-contact
sport, but the rigors and
stresses of daily life.
Tangible strength is the
power to survive.
Tangible, true strength helps you ward off illness and
injury and allows you to rebound from adversity with
supreme resilience.
The kind of strength cultivation where you only seem to
get stronger as you get older—rather starting to fall apart
at the seams as early as your late thirties or early forties…
Ancient warriors needed to handle blows, wield heavy
weapons, and survive on meager rations, while
maintaining their victor’s edge. Their strength was of the
hands, feet, torso, neck, and legs— a total body power
designed to meet any challenge thrown at it.
Gain a warrior’s formidable
toughness with this
unique program
For the first time on DVD, Stephan Berwick reveals his
regimen for healthy body toughening derived from his
unique expertise in secret Chinese martial art body
toughening methods. Combining hard and soft
forms of conditioning inspired from his intimate
knowledge of ancient military-origin Chinese
martial arts, Berwick’s True Strength Yang™
program offers quick results—conditioning your
body to withstand blows, falls, and twists, in an
easy to digest, highly intense regimen of warrior
conditioning, reminiscent of the best classical
martial body practices.
DVD 1: True Strength Yang
presents essential body-hitting exercises, in a unique
training approach that stimulates and toughens the
skin, muscles, and joints using only relaxed, flexible
limb movement. Discover how to first toughen
your upper body, moving to the mid-section, then
the lower, followed by total body, structural
toughening executed with a partner.
Body toughening is a key part of building True Strength.
The ability to withstand and recover from blows and
other related contact-injuries is crucial for any combat
style. While many martial disciplines use a variety of
sometimes debilitating exercises to toughen the body, True
Strength Yang is inspired by the fluid, relaxed body
conditioning and power striking concepts of Tong Bei
(Back Striking) and Fanzi (Catch & Hold) boxing to
produce extremely quick results for any body type.
After mastering the instructional component, take
advantage of three follow-along True Strength Yang
Workouts to rapidly “weaponize”, strengthen and
energize your body in just minutes a day.
DVD 2: True Strength Base:
Primers for Natural Strength
provides an easy to learn series of mainly lower body
exercises to quickly develop overall body control. The
goal in True Strength Base is to strengthen the legs,
increasing the trainee’s ability to shift the body weight
efficiently—all
towards the ability
to relax while the
body exerts. You’ll
first strengthen your
base, learn to better
support your weight,
gain control of your
waist, and then
enhance the control
of your limbs.

THE PURPOSEFUL PRIMITIVE
“I would venture to say that I have read
every book pertaining to weightlifting over
the last three decades, and I have probably
read the majority of the articles in this area.
There are two things I can say unequivocally
about what I have read. One, Marty
Gallagher is the best writer in the world of
physical fitness and strength, bar none, and
two, Gallagher's newest book The Purposeful
Primitive is the best manuscript ever
produced in this field.
Teeming with esoteric information on
training, biomechanics, nutrition, and sport
psychology, The Purposeful Primitive is a
wealth of information that every serious lifter
needs to read. You are going to like this
book. NO! You are going to LOVE it. I
promise you that. It's Gallagher's best work,
and that means it is strictly world class.”
—Dr. Judd Biasiotto, author of 46 fitness
and health-related books, world powerlifting
champion
"I really only have two things to say about
Marty Gallagher that bear on his new book,
The Purposeful Primitive. The first is that
there are two classes of writers in
powerlifting: 1) Marty Gallagher and 2) all
others. The second is that one day, ten years
ago, Marty called to say he knew a Russian
guy who he thought might be a good writer
for MILO, so we invited the guy to submit an
article: It was called Vodka, Pickle Juice,
Kettlebell Lifting and other Russian Pastimes,
the author was Pavel Tsatsouline, and rest, as
they say, is history."

been a very interesting journey for me... back-

Marty does a wonderful job bringing out
the art and science of training, extracting
many of the critical universal and specific
principles (guiding rules to action—social,
emotional, mental, physical and spiritual)
that are applicable to living a productive life
in general, and in training for health, fitness
and sport, specifically. In addition, I like the
way Marty personalizes the lives of
outstanding athletes and shows how they
applied these fundamental, can't-miss
principles in their training to help them
become the best they could be in their sport.
My recommendation: if you want to achieve
something 'great in your life', add The

From Fat and Flaccid to Lean and Powerful—Using the Primordial Laws of Fitness
to Trigger Inevitable, Lasting and Dramatic Physical Change

greats who have gone before us.
As someone who has trained with

succeeded in transcending their
"common mortal frames" through a
combination of supreme effort and
dedicated will.
In the 21st century, this drive, this
search for the Holy Grail of physical
perfection has climbed to ever-greater
heights —but has also plunged us to
unforeseen depths.
Elite athletes worldwide continue to
shatter records that would have been
considered inconceivable only decades
earlier. Our current stars are
unimaginably bigger, stronger and faster
than their earlier counterparts. And yet,
for the general populace the story is
quite different. Obesity and abject
weakness have exploded across our land
like an all-consuming virus. And the gap
between the super-fit and the obscenely
unfit widens by the day.

coached numerous world champions to
ever more impressive records and as
someone who has had spectacular results
applying these same methods to average
folk, Marty Gallagher knows whereof he
speaks. His inspirational message: simply
follow The Way of the Masters—with
the necessary drive and desire—and you
CANNOT fail, you WILL transform
physically. Change—change for the
better—is inevitable.
The problem with modern day fitness,
says Gallagher, lies in the sheer plethora
and over-complexity of methods, the
fragmented partiality of specialized
systems and the general confusion about
what really works to gain and retain
muscle while losing significant body fat.
The great masters of fitness became
masters by following a four-fold path:

While an elite minority seems to

possess the secret to supreme physical
transformation, our fitness landscape is
littered with the road kill of those who
failed to make genuine progress in their
quest for change.
According to leading fitness author,
world powerlifting champion and coach
extraordinaire, Marty Gallagher, the
reasons for this sorry state of affairs are
clear and the solution obvious. In The
Purposeful Primitive, Gallagher exposes
the flaws and myths rampant in the
modern fitness community, then reveals
what could be termed "The Way of the

guaranteeing physical transformation,

Praise for Pavel’s Enter the
Kettlebell! book and DVD
At age 53 I have regained
Strength and Confidence
Rated 10 out of 10
Over the years I have tried many types of
programs for attaining my fitness goals. Some of
the programs did deliver results to an extent,
but I never did attain my ideal for REAL
STRENGTH. My weight lifting usually
consisted of complicated set/rep schemes with
more exercises than I could keep track of, and I
would often run for miles. As a result I would
find myself injured through overtraining and
become frustrated and quit. Injuries included
shin splints, extremely sore muscles and a
herniated disk.
At age 53 I have finally regained Strength and
Confidence. Enter The Kettlebell! has exceeded
all my expectations with regards to becoming
strong again. ETK is direct and simple –just
follow instructions and within weeks you will
be transformed –as I was. Eight weeks ago when
I started the ETK program, my waist was 38
inch and I weighed 216 lbs. I now can squeeze
into a size 34 inch trousers which I have not
been able to do since I left the Marine Corps
over 30 years ago, and I have lost 6lbs. of fat. I
have much more muscle definition in my arms,
chest and shoulders, and my love handles have
disappeared. My 8 weeks of progress with ETK
have inspired me toward greater effort and
although I have not yet achieved my
strength/fitness goals, for the first time I feel that
those are now attainable. A truly Stand Alone
Program for Strength.

annual PT test. I had not done pushups or situps
in the six months since my last PT test, yet
I managed to pump out 73 pushups and 70

years. In addition to that, I feel physically better

into the program, I guarantee you'll be blown

fighters, special operators, and regular hard Comrades

delivered by this ancient Russian tool. Now, it is YOUR turn to
Enter the Kettlebell!
For a kettlebell novice, the hardest part is knowing where to begin.
And what you really need to do to get off to a quick—yet rock-
solid—start. Pavel delivers.
For the Comrade who’s already put in a year or two of kettlebell
time, it’s easy to hit a plateau after explosive early gains. Pavel
knocks him out of his sophomore slump and helps him take his
game to a higher level.
Then there’s the grizzled KB vet who’s been around the block and
got too arrogant to practice his fundamentals (or never learned
them in the first place). Pavel hammers the fundamentals because
“it is the mastery of the basics that separates the elite from the
rest.”
With Enter the Kettlebell! Pavel has done all the work for you—
honing a masterplan of essential training secrets that guarantee to
make you powerful, resilient, and enduring—if you simply follow
the proven guidelines.

appearance of kettlebells at the back doors and
tent flaps of military personnel. When Russian
and US Special Forces started competing against
each other after the Soviet Union broke up, the
Americans made a disturbing discovery. “We’d
be totally exhausted and the Russians wouldn’t
even be catching their breath,” says… [a] Secret

working with kettlebells.”

Pavel’s Kettlebell FAQ
What is a ‘kettlebell’?
A ‘kettlebell’ or girya (Russ.) is a traditional Russian cast iron weight
that looks like a cannonball with a handle. The ultimate tool for
extreme all-round fitness.
The kettlebell goes way back – it first appeared in a Russian
dictionary in 1704 (Cherkikh, 1994). So popular were kettlebells in
Tsarist Russia that any strongman or weightlifter was referred to as a
girevik, or ‘a kettlebell man’.
“Not a single sport develops our muscular strength and bodies as well
as kettlebell athletics,” reported Russian magazine Hercules in 1913.
“Kettlebells—Hot Weight of the Year”—Rolling Stone
Why train with kettlebells?
Because they deliver extreme all-round fitness. And no single other
tool does it better. Here is a short list of hardware the Russian kettlebell
replaces: barbells, dumbbells, belts for weighted pullups and dips, thick
bars, lever bars, medicine balls, grip devices, and cardio equipment.
Vinogradov & Lukyanov (1986) found a very high correlation
between the results posted in a kettlebell lifting competition and a great
range of dissimilar tests: strength, measured with the three powerlifts
and grip strength; strength endurance, measured with pullups and
parallel bar dips; general endurance, determined by a 1000 meter run;
work capacity and balance, measured with special tests.
Voropayev (1983) tested two groups of subjects in pullups, a standing
broad jump, a 100m sprint, and a 1k run. He put the control group on
a program that emphasized the above tests; the experimental group
lifted kettlebells. In spite of the lack of practice on the tested exercises,
the kettlebell group scored better in every one of them! This is what we
call “the what the hell effect”.
Kettlebells melt fat without the dishonor of dieting or aerobics. If you
are overweight, you will lean out. If you are skinny, you will get built
up. According to Voropayev (1997) who studied top Russian gireviks,
21.2% increased their bodyweight since taking up kettlebelling and
21.2% (the exact same percentage, not a typo), mostly heavyweights,
decreased it. The Russian kettlebell is a powerful tool for fixing your
body comp, whichever way it needs fixing.
Kettlebells forge doers’ physiques along the lines of antique statues:
broad shoulders with just a hint of pecs, back muscles standing out in
bold relief, wiry arms, rugged forearms, a cut-up midsection, and strong
legs without a hint of squatter’s chafing.
Liberating and aggressive as medieval swordplay, kettlebell training is
highly addictive. What other piece of exercise equipment can boast that
its owners name it? Paint it? Get tattoos of it? Our Russian kettlebell is
the Harley-Davidson of strength hardware.

Who trains with kettlebells?
Hard comrades of all persuasions.
Soviet weightlifting legends such as Vlasov, Zhabotinskiy, and Alexeyev started their
Olympic careers with old-fashioned kettlebells. Yuri Vlasov once interrupted an
interview he was giving to a Western journalist and proceeded to press a pair of
kettlebells. “A wonderful exercise,” commented the world champion. “…It is hard to
find an exercise better suited for developing strength and flexibility simultaneously.”
The Russian Special Forces personnel owe much of their wiry strength, explosive
agility, and never-quitting stamina to kettlebells. Soldier, Be Strong!, the official Soviet
armed forces strength training manual pronounced kettlebell drills to be “one of the
most effective means of strength development” representing “a new era in the
development of human strength-potential”.
The elite of the US military and law enforcement instantly recognized the power of the
Russian kettlebell, ruggedly simple and deadly effective as an AK-47. You can find
Pavel’s certified RKC instructors among Force Recon Marines, Department of Energy
nuclear security teams, the FBI’s Hostage Rescue Team, the Secret Service Counter
Assault Team, etc.
Once the Russian kettlebell became a hit among those whose life depends on their
strength and conditioning, it took off among hard people from all walks of life: martial
artists, athletes, regular hard comrades.
“I can’t think of a more practical way of special operations training… I was
extremely skeptical about kettlebell training and now wish that I had known
about it fifteen years ago…“
—Name withheld, Special Agent, U.S. Secret Service Counter Assault Team
Am I kettlebell material?
Kettlebell training is extreme but not elitist. At the 1995 Russian Championship the
youngest contestant was 16, the oldest 53! And we are talking elite competition here;
the range is even wider if you are training for yourself rather than for the gold. Dr.
Krayevskiy, the father of the kettlebell sport, took up training at the age of forty-one and
twenty years later he was said to look fresher and healthier than at forty.
Only 8.8% of top Russian gireviks, members of the Russian National Team and
regional teams, reported injuries in training or competition (Voropayev, 1997). A
remarkably low number, especially if you consider that these are elite athletes who push
their bodies over the edge. Many hard men with high mileage have overcome debilitating
injuries with kettlebell training (get your doctor’s approval). Acrobat Valentin Dikul fell
and broke his back at seventeen. Today, in his mid-sixties, he juggles 180-pound balls
and breaks powerlifting records!
“… kettlebells are a unique conditioning tool and a powerful one as well that
you should add to your arsenal of strength... my experience with them has
been part of what’s led me to a modification in my thoughts on strength and
bodyweight exercises… I’m having a blast training with them and I think you
will as well.”
—Bud Jeffries, the author of How to Squat 900lbs. without Drugs, Powersuits, or
Kneewraps
How do I learn to use the kettlebell?
From Pavel’s books and videos: The Russian Kettlebell Challenge or From Russia with
Tough Love for comrades ladies. From an RKC certified instructor; find one in your area
on RussianKettlebell.com. Kettlebell technique can be learned in one or two sessions
and you can start intense training during the second or even first week (Dvorkin, 2001).
“…I felt rejuvenated and ready to conquer the world. I was sold on the
kettlebells, as the exercises were fun and challenging, and demanded
coordination, explosion, balance, and power… I am now on my way to
being a better, fitter, and more explosive grappler, and doing things I haven’t
done in years!”
—Kid Peligro, Grappling magazine
What is the right kettlebell size for me?
Kettlebells come in ‘poods’. A pood is an old Russian measure of weight, which equals
16kg, or roughly 35 lbs. An average man should start with a 35-pounder. It does not
sound like a lot but believe it; it feels a lot heavier than it should! Most men will
eventually progress to a 53-pounder, the standard issue size in the Russian military.
Although available in most units, 70-pounders are used only by a few advanced guys
and in elite competitions. 88-pounders are for mutants.
An average woman should start with an 18-pounder. A strong woman can go for a 26-
pounder. Some women will advance to a 35-pounder. A few hard women will go
beyond.
“Kettlebells are like weightlifting times ten.”
“Kettlebells are like weightlifting times ten. …If I could’ve met Pavel in the
early ‘80s, I might’ve won two gold medals. I’m serious.”
—Dennis Koslowski, D.C., RKC,
Olympic Silver Medalist in Greco-Roman Wrestling

Dragon Door’s Most Popular Russian
Kettlebell Weighs 35lb (16kg)—
And Is The Ideal Size For Most Men
To Jumpstart Their New Cardio,
Conditioning and Strength Programs
Dragon Door and Pavel Tsatsouline re-
introduced kettlebells to the US with the uniquely
designed 35lb cast iron kettlebell—
and it has remained our most popular kettlebell.
Why?
Even a man of average initial strength can
immediately start using the 35lb kettlebell for two-
handed swings and quickly gravitate to
one-handed swings, followed by jerks, cleans and
snatches.
Within a few weeks you can expect to see
spectacular gains in overall strength and
conditioning—and for many—significant fat loss.

True Strength Training Rated 10 out of 10
Kettlebell training is the only way I know that builds
strength, increases flexibility, and burns off the excess
fat. In four weeks, I lost 7 pounds and I’m starting to
see those muscles that have been hiding under that
extra layer of fat. Kettlebell training is challenging and
demands your full attention while lifting. Unlike the
linear movements of the bench press and curls (as with
the other exercises in the gym), KB training works the
whole body with every technique. Great product, very

“If I could I would give this DVD a 20 instead of a
10. Most DVD’s only give you a stripped down version
of a workout. This marvelous DVD gives you not only
1 workout, like most DVD’s. It gives you an infinite
amount of them, and they include a warm-up portion
and a cool-down routine that is out of this world.
These workouts will work you out even if you use a
light kettlebell. The instructions are clear cut, and
concise for all to understand. Guys will love this DVD
as well.”—Karen R. Queen - Tampa, Florida
Hard Core Workout!
“Andrea Du Cane provides some tough workouts
on The Kettlebell Goddess DVD. This DVD is not for
beginners, but it is a great way for someone familiar
with basic kettlebell exercises to get a great
challenging workout. Each of the goddess workouts
are great no-frills, no-nonsense, kick-butt exercise
routines. I really enjoy the relax into stretch segment
at the end of each workout.
By the way, this DVD is not just for women! My
boyfriend loves it as much as I do (though he did
complain about not being able to keep up with
women wearing pink shirts).”

Andrea in From Russia with Tough Love, but this is the
best. Nicole and Kristann are a wonderful
complement to her and very much inspire me to keep
working to get better. I tried to just watch the video
without picking up the kettlebells, but I couldn’t. I had
to jump right into a workout. I am glad I did. First the
warm up was one of the most thorough that I have
ever had. Then the exercises really hit the mark. I had
such a pump in my lower body and an overall rush all
over. Then the nice cool down made me feel like I
really accomplished something. I plan to keep on
doing the workouts. Thanks for the Kettlebell Goddess
Workout. Please keep up the good work!” —Robin

“This is definitely the best work-along kettlebell
DVD I own (and I have several). The pre-programmed
workouts are excellent. Most instructors would have
stopped there, but not Andrea. The A/B/C programs
and the ability to select individual drills within those
programs make the DVD even more versatile and
more valuable. But she didn’t stop there, either--the

addition, two or three options for performing many of
the drills are shown. The instruction and form pointers

a long time, and I’ll be using the workout design
principles and suggestions in the accompanying PDF
to make my other work-along DVDs more effective
and more enjoyable.” —Martha E. - Tennessee
This video is
GREAT!!
“I think this video is GREAT
because you can move to
anything you want to right
away, and Andrea does a FINE
job explaining and demonstrating the exercises. The
fact that they are broken up into upper and lower
body and cardio workouts is wonderful. I use the
video everyday and I thank you for offering it. I think
you’re right to let people choose their own or no
music. Also, it is a great buy, for $29.95 you get 2 1/2
hours!”—Anne Clare - Kansas City MO
This is perfect for what I
was looking for!
I am fairly new to KB training and own the ‘Tough
Love’ DVD. I was looking for some structure in my KB
training when I came across this find. I am not one to
‘wing it’. It is like Andrea read my mind. I have only
done a few of the available ‘Goddess Workouts’ on
the DVD and am very impressed. It was obvious that
she really tried hard to accomodate so many aspects
of KB training! I also appreciate the low cost
associated with this excellent DVD. If you enjoy
working with KB’s and are looking for some
structured, short, workout routines I would highly
recommend this DVD. Thanks, Andrea for taking the
time and energy to put this together.” —Diane -

Works for the
Gods too
“Men! Don’t let the ‘Goddess’
title keep you from getting this
DVD. The workouts are demanding
and complete. You may follow each
workout as demonstrated for some
great training. The real bonus for me was the build
your own workout section at the end. Any ‘God’ can
reap tremendous benefits from the Goddess workout.

twice a week. I wanted to workout more often so
would pick up the KB during the week but would
swing for only ten minutes or so. I would do my
favorite and easiest swings. This video gives me such
a variety of workouts, has a few swings I have not

otherwise would pass on when I am working out
alone. What a great complement to my classes as a
fill-in during the week.” —Kathie - Fair Oaks, CA

The best part is the workout itself. With the
kettlebell workout I feel the exercises deep inside -
not just right underneath the skin. Something I never
experienced before and I have worked out with
weights on and off for 20 years. I felt that for the first
time I’m finally working out the right way. They DO

“I learned about KB’s through
a local trainer and own two 18-lb
bells and a 26-lb bell. I was starting to feel ‘antsy’ and
anxious to try some new things. A friend told me to
return to the source --- Dragon Door --- and check out
this DVD. I HATE exercise videos but did it anyway
because it had to do with KB’s. Wow!!! I did the
Artemis workout right off and was really surprised
how much new stuff I learned in 30 minutes.
NO ONE, no matter what your level, should be left
out of the KB rage! Very pleased to see Andrea’s
bonus drills and workouts so that I can put together
my own programs. My success has to do with my
own creativity, and Andrea and group have
encouraged me to go for it. My workouts have
moved up a couple of notches. A million thanks!

It’s a MUST HAVE.” —Justine - Downriver MI
What an awesome DVD
“I absolutely LOVE this DVD. I really like how
interactive it is, you can pick your workout or mix and
match smaller portions to make a whole. I’ve got my
husband doing it with me I just haven’t told him the
name of the DVD! I like the ‘real people’ doing the
workouts, not models, which for me is always a real
downer. I like the variety of workouts as well as the
variety of different exercises, some I had not done
before. I swear I can see a difference already, after
two weeks. I love to KB, but I have a hard time
thinking what to do, how much, etc. This makes it fun,
and is something to work for, I can’t quite keep

Do you remember how easily you used to roll,
squat, leap, crawl and run?
Then along came life with a capital L…
You got banged up and beaten down. Baked,
broken, burnt and bruised.
Yeah, you developed your strength, speed and
power. But at a hidden cost, as you scrambled to
survive the many insults life threw at you. You
started to lose that easy mobility and stability you
had as a kid… You tightened up and started to
compensate for your injuries and imbalances.
And perhaps you thought it natural—just part of
the aging process—that you could no longer
squat, roll and run with effortless ease… Perhaps
you thought you’d just have to live with nagging
pain, crimped movement and frustrating
performance restrictions. And never be quite the
athlete you were or thought you had the potential
to be…
Well, there’s good news, because you can not only
reverse this slide into dysfunction, you can
experience dramatic new gains in your
performance, when you take advantage of the

ince Pavel Tsatsouline and Dragon Door introduced
America to kettlebells five years ago, this amazing “gym in
one hand” has been redefining our nation’s strength and
conditioning landscape.
Now, personal trainers who incorporate kettlebells into
their programs have watched their client base explode.
Previous clients have flocked back, attracted by undeniable
gains in strength—and loss of body fat! Kettlebells have
opened up whole new vistas of training success for personal
trainers and their clients alike.
In fact, professionals of all kinds have been rushing to take
advantage of the kettlebells’ almost magical ability to strip
off unwanted fat and turn wretched physiques into the envy
of the neighborhood…
Chiropractors, massage therapists, physical therapists,
physicians, sports coaches, you name it, have also eagerly
embraced the kettlebells uncanny ability to snap back from
injuries—in particular, back and shoulder injuries.
And, of course, athletic coaches at the school and
professional level have been falling over themselves to
ensure they and their athletes gain the competitive
advantage almost guaranteed by proper kettlebell training.
Then, the police and military—whose very lives can depend
on their physical strength and conditioning levels—have
jumped on kettlebells as the quick and very handy answer
to fast and lasting strength and cardio gains.
With the kettlebells growing popularity as the exercise tool
“that does it all”—be it for the professional athlete or
simply average fitness-Joe looking for a more effective
workout—there’s a rising demand for highly skilled and
competent kettlebell instructors.
And there’s ONLY ONE KETTLE-

results from attending Pavel’s
Russian Kettlebell Certification have
often been spectacular:
“I have been a personal trainer since 1987, and frankly, I’ve
never seen anything like the excitement generated by
Russian kettlebells. This age-old art has infused my
business with a new level of passion I’ve never seen before,
and it’s spreading like wildfire.
Let’s start with the financial benefits. I’ve more than
doubled my personal training income since becoming
Russian kettlebell certified, which has enriched my career as
well as my personal life. This past Thanksgiving I was
actually able to leave the gym behind and whisk my wife
away on a rugged 2-week trip to Costa Rica, something
that simply would not have been feasible before.
December 2004 was one of my busiest months ever.
Business was up, and clients were in a generous mood. My
wife couldn’t help but note the huge increase in holiday tips
I received, which nearly covered the cost of our Costa Rican
adventure!
“What do you attribute it to,” she asked.
“The economy isn’t that great.”
I immediately summed it up in one word:
“KETTLEBELLS!”
The bottom line is, my clients were feeling generous because
they were grateful for what they’d gained (and lost!) over
the past year! I’ve had incredible results across the board
with all my clients, male and female, since kettlebells
entered the picture.
One of my longtime clients lost 26 pounds in six weeks. His
sister and her husband, visiting from Ireland over the
holidays, were totally amazed at both his fitness level and
this odd “new” form of training.
A newer client lost three dress sizes and really toned up in
the span of two months that she had to prepare for her
wedding. A masseuse called me to inquire about kettlebell
training because she couldn’t help but notice the change in
muscle tone our mutual client had achieved.

Success stories like these--and there are many--made for a
lot of very happy and fit clients with a renewed interest and
commitment to training.
Needless to say, these kinds of results also brought a lot of
new business my way last year. I now have a physical
therapist sending me clients because of the improvements
he’s seen in his patients’ strength and mobility after sending
them my way.
“Beyond the professional gains, Russian
kettlebells have really benefited me on a
personal level as an athlete…“
I am 46 years old and have pursued a very rugged and
adventurous outdoor lifestyle for as long as I can remember.
As a result, there were a few old injuries that had really
started to dog me in the past couple of years.
Since becoming RKC certified, however, things have
changed. I have made amazing strength gains, but perhaps
more importantly in terms of improving my quality of life,
I have increased the flexibility and joint mobility in my hips
and shoulders tremendously. Both have been invaluable in
terms of increasing my enjoyment of rock climbing, skiing,
and hiking, not to mention improving my performance
exponentially!
My endurance, strength-to-weight ratio, core strength,
static strength, grip strength, and flexibility are all markedly
greater than before I started training with kettlebells and
incorporating Pavel’s other techniques.
Pavel has a way of cutting through the B.S., and he gave me
the essential information and techniques that work, both
for my clients and for me personally. No question about it,
becoming a Russian Kettlebell Certified Instructor is the
best move I have made in 18 years as a trainer.”

hard pressed to find a sport or activity which would not benefit from this one of a kind product. Yes, it will even
make your bench press go up!” —Pavel Tsatsouline, author of Enter the Kettlebell!
C an one exercise sequence do it all?
Can one exercise provide insight
into how you move? Could one
exercise be the key to achieving a
balanced and strong body?
Well, according to the two of the most
highly regarded “Engineers of Movement
Mastery”, Gray Cook and Brett Jones, the
answer is a resounding Yes!
When past Super Bowl champion teams
have wanted to ensure their athletes are
moving at full potential, Gray Cook has
been their go-to guy. When Pavel and
Dragon Door wanted similar results with
their certified RKC instructors, they invited
Gray Cook and Brett Jones to design the
CK-FMS certification program to fill that
need.
Turns out, one of the absolute
cornerstones, one of the greatest success
breakthroughs Gray and Brett contributed
was an astonishingly thorough re-
engineering of the revered Turkish Get Up.
Although the Turkish Get Up has always
been a staple, core exercise taught at the
RKC, Gray and Jones consider it a vastly
under-appreciated and under-used method.
A fundamental drill, as important to high-
level performance as the classic kettlebell
Swing.
So Gray and Brett, with additional
masterly contributions from Dr. Mark
Cheng, have created a brilliantly
comprehensive instructional guide that
every RKC and every serious athlete will
want to watch and learn from many, many
times.
Kettlebells From the Ground Up not
only introduces you to the basics of the
Turkish Get Up, but provides you with all
the tools you need to master this
movement. In a carefully progressive, 7-
step process Gray and Brett help you
toward Get Up perfection.
And as you would expect of these
Masters of Movement Engineering, they
don’t just stop at showing you how to
perform the exercise. Discover why the

tool, a tremendously effective corrective
strategy and a formidable workout where
the sky’s the limit for athletic
accomplishment.
For lay comrades, the language is kept
simple and clear. But for the pros who need
the extra background, each of the 7 Steps
has a “tips for Pros” section that alone is
worth the price of admission.
The old time strongmen used the Get Up
as an “entrance exam” requiring a 100-
pound Get Up on each side before
beginning any other training. The Turkish
Wrestlers used the Get Up to train for
combat and grappling. And today the Get
Up represents an opportunity for everyone
to regain the “beautiful strength” and
symmetry that our so-called fitness routines
should bring us—but invariably don’t!
An assessment
and an exercise…
As Gray Cook has so eloquently stated:
“modern fitness techniques can actually
allow us to stack fitness on dysfunction.”
Meaning that we can actually take a “bent
frame” and put a bigger engine in that car.
Not a great idea…
To perform safely at our peak, year-in,
year-out, we need to cultivate a “symmetry
of strength and movement”. Enter the Get
Up!
Because the Get Up can provide us with
that crucial Left to Right assessment of
movement and strength… At each of the
7 steps on the Kettlebells from the Ground
Up DVD you will know if the movement,
stability and strength is equal. The exercise
actually becomes an assessment.
Shoulders and Hips
“Some schools of Chinese
medicine…refer to the shoulder and hip
joints as the Four Knots and where there is
an imbalance of tension or strength in any
of the Four Knots problems…can occur…”
Dr. Mark Cheng brings us this excellent
description of the interplay between
shoulders and the hips. Modern
reductionist fitness philosophy has people
attempting to isolate pieces and parts of the
body into something called “fitness”. But
this is simply not how the body works.
Movement is an incredibly complicated
Unfortunately, we often scrimp and
shortchange our bodies by neglecting or
procrastinating on this crucial self-
maintenance. Ironically, often the more
skilled we are as athletes the more
procrastinate on fixing our dysfunctions.

stabile shoulder coordinated through
mobile hips? Sounds like the Get Up
doesn’t it? Correct. Correct…
Getting Primitive…
The beginning for the Get Up represents
a very primitive rolling pattern. Many of us
actually lose this rolling pattern as we age.
But loss of this fundamental pattern can—
and usually does—create a cascade effect
through the body of dysfunction and
compensation.
If an individual is having issues with the
beginning of the Get Up it could be because
of a defective rolling pattern—and working
on the first part of the exercise can “bring
back” this primitive movement pattern.

athletic performance.

In Russia, kettlebells have long been revered as the fitness-tool of choice for
Olympic athletes, elite special forces and martial artists. The kettlebell’s ballistic
movement challenges the body to achieve an unparalleled level of physical
conditioning and overall strength.
But until now, the astonishing benefits of the Russian kettlebell have been
unavailable to all but a few women. Kettlebells have mostly been the sacred preserve
of the male professional athlete, the military and other hardcore types. That’s about
to change, as Russian fitness expert and best selling author PAVEL, delivers the first-
ever kettlebell program for women.
It’s wild, but women really CAN have it all when they access the magical power of
Russian kettlebells. Pavel’s uncompromising workouts give across-the-board,

 Ultimate “Real World” Kettlebell Training
Program Turns Firefighters into Near
Invincible Specimens of Enduring Power
and Shock-Proof Heart…
“Do you know how to manhandle a heavy box to the top shelf? How to lift a heavy object that is not directly in front
of you? How to be strong in a tight space—without hurting your back? Watch Tom Corrigan’s DVD and you will.”
—Pavel Tsatsouline, author of Enter the Kettlebell!

A s a longtime firefighter, Tom Corrigan has been on a

relentless mission to seek out physical-preparedness
programs that would truly give him the iron grip, the
powerful back, the steely, cable-like muscles, the endurance,
the ability to handle ballistic insult and the shock-proof heart that are
essential in his line of work.
Because Tom didn’t just want to excel as a firefighter. He wanted
to survive, whatever he had to go up against, every time.
When Tom discovered kettlebell training, he finally found the
perfect firefighter fitness solution in one package. He likes to call
kettlebells the “Great Equalizer”, because they give him the perfect
combination of endurance and strength.
Having experienced these phenomenal training results with
kettlebells, Tom Corrigan has wanted to share “fighter-
preparedness” program not only with all his other firefighters but all
those whose jobs require heavy and sudden physical challenge.
While Tom’s KB Fire program will ensure a firefighter is supremely
ready to fight, the drills can easily be adopted by a host of hard-living
types to perform their jobs more safely and more effectively.

“I feel like I am cheating my

“KB Fire is a versatile,
comprehensive kettlebell training
program for firefighters that
understands the diverse nature of
our job. Taking a hydrant, pulling
an attack line, laddering the
structure, cutting a hole on a
pitched roof 20-30 feet high with a
screaming powered tool or axe,
with fire below you and victims
that need to be saved can be
challenging. Prepare yourself and
the your department with KB Fire.
“Tom not only does a great job
with showing you the basic
conditioning exercises you can do
with the kettlebell, but the ‘job
specific’ drills alone will greatly
benefit a firefighter’s ability to do
the job effectively while
minimizing the risk of injury.
Great job Tom!”

Welcome to Pavel’s masterly body-
software program for debugging,

restoring your body’s capacity to stretch
and flex the way it was born and meant
to do!
Since his early days when he honed the
physical fighting capacity of the legendary
Soviet Spetsnaz, to his current incarnation
as a bestselling American fitness expert,
Pavel has tirelessly researched and then
implemented the best-kept secrets for
function-based flexibility.
Using his own body and the bodies of
countless thousands of warriors, athletes,
martial artists, gymnasts, dancers and
coaches—and more than a few sackfuls of
deconditioned couch potatoes—as the
proving ground, Pavel has refined his
stretching program into a brilliantly

system for ultimate flexibility.

It’ll seem like magic, but of course it’s
based on rock-solid, (yet little-known)
scientific principles that have been proven
time and time again.
But what’s really magical is the SYSTEM
that Pavel’s figured out for you. And that’s
what all great software does—take the
most powerful functions and formulate
them into the ultimate winning code.
Just do it, just follow the simple directions
and watch your body reconfigure before

flexibility. It taught me safe and mechanically correct
assessment and training methods that none of my six

“I have taken many clinics by experts in
the strength and conditioning field.

“The course encouraged me that it is
entirely within my grasp to increase my
mobility and flexibility as I get older rather
than lose it (I’m 47) it also convinced me
that the real barriers are self imposed.

And here’s what you
get with Pavel’s Beyond
Stretching: The Seminar
5-DVD set:
You get the complete breakdown of each
key principle and how to properly
implement that principle for huge gains
in stretch, flexibility and range of motion.
Pavel gives you three master principles
that will forever alter not only your
stretching ability—but every aspect of
your movement:
 Pavel’s first master principle of
stretching is to USE YOUR
STRENGTH. Discover how a
scientific application of targeted
strength techniques can help you
immediately blow through your
current flexibility limitations!
 Pavel’s second master principle of
stretching is to FIND SPACE. You’ll
be astounded at how Pavel’s brilliant
innovation will rewrite the story of
your body and make history of your
cramps and blocks.
 Pavel’s third master principle of
stretching is to SPREAD THE
LOAD. Discover another magical
method for shifting out of hampering
stress and strain to release your
body’s full potential for stretch and
range of movement.
And then Pavel gives you two other key
principles that are for stretching only:
 Pavel’s fourth master principle of
stretching is to RELAX. Some of you
may think you know how to relax
and some of you may think you
know how to relax into a better
stretch. Well let me tell you that the
information you’ll get here about the
relax principle is as different from
traditional relax techniques as a Yugo
and a Ferrari!
 Pavel’s fifth master principle of
stretching is to PRY. Again, the other
experts will be shaking their head and
asking “Why didn’t I think of
that?”—as you and they both
discover this technique’s power to
blow through even the most stubborn
stretch-block.
It doesn’t matter what body part you are
looking to make more flexible—hips,
legs, neck, spine, glutes, chest, shoulders,
you-name-it—just run Pavel’s 5-step
neuro software through the offending
part and watch it release, open and
stretch out!

“These are possibly the best fitness/performance related DVDs that I have come across. Rif presents
some vital concepts which have never before been brought together and explains how you can
identify and treat the postural causes of many aches and pains.” — Chris H., Edinburgh, Scotland
Have You Thrown in the Towel
Because You Hurt Too Much?
“Battle-tested” system by a NATURAL BORN WARRIOR
has you snarling in disdain at your old injuries…
A
series of brutal injuries
ended Mark Reifkind’s
Olympic hopes in
gymnastics, in champion
powerlifting, in ultra-
marathons and in Ironman
triathlons. A resurgent Mark battled
back to become one of the premier
kettlebell trainers in the US.
No one has delved more deeply than
Mark into what it takes to beat pain at
its own game—and remain resiliently
functional in the face of the most
egregious challenges.
Having heard of Mark’s success at
restoring his lost physical functioning,
we begged him to share his personal
discoveries and methods with our elite
RKC kettlebell trainers at the recent
RKC II certification workshop.
Mark’s secrets for restoring physical
function would clearly be of immense
value to our RKCs, for themselves, but
more importantly for their clients.
And Mark did not disappoint! In a
brilliant, inspiring, impassioned,
fascinating and highly practical seminar,
Mark blew the assembled RKCs away
with his methods for understanding,
pinpointing and then releasing blocks in
the body.
I am so glad we got it all on tape! No
way would anyone be able to remember
one-tenth of all the methods Mark
shared with us in those two hours!
Now, you too can benefit from this
treasure trove of methods to keep you
and your clients in optimal condition.

and only in the right places. A paradox.

Discover New Keys to Superior
Athletic Achievement
I n his strength books Pavel emphasizes the importance of learning to maximally tense the
muscles. Because tension IS strength. But strength/ tension is only half of the total
performance package. The other half is relaxation. The body of a karate expert will freeze
in total tension at the moment of impact, but will remain totally loose before and after.
Mastery of relaxation is the hallmark of an elite athlete. Soviet scientists discovered that the
higher the athlete’s level, the quicker he can relax his muscles. The Soviets observed an 800%
difference between novices and Olympians. Their conclusion: total control of tension = elite
performance.
If you can master your muscular tension, a new dimension of athletic excellence opens to you.
New achievements. New heights of performance. Some genetically-endowed superstars seem to
possess this ability from birth. But according to former Soviet Special Forces trainer, Pavel, a
SKILL–SET is available that can transform anyone’s current physical limitations.
Now, for the first time, Pavel reveals these little known Soviet performance secrets, so you
too can become the master of your body — not its victim. From years of research and
experience, Pavel has selected these Fast & Loose techniques as the best-of-the-best for
practical and quick results.

How to Instantly Increase from The

Your Upper Body Strength by Pavel

With the Irradiation Technique

H

pushups, Comrade! Only five,
but of a challenging variety, for
instance with your feet up or on
one arm. When you are done with five you
should be able to grind out another couple
but no more than that.
41 yr old mom using
GTG to do something she
has never done
“My wife has been using GTG (greasing
the grove) for a couple of weeks to learn
how to do chin ups. She started with 2
assisted chins 3 or four times a day four a

to suck it up, forget the health clubs, do
like I did, order a appropriate size
kettlebell& DVD and get busy!! Pavel can
put you back in the game!”
—Gene Simmons - New Jersey

Note the difficulty of your first set. Rest

briefly. Do another fiver but with one
difference: on the way up grip the deck hard
with your fingertips. Don’t go up on your
fingertips; just grip the floor so your
fingertips turn white. Only on the way up.
All the way up or just at the sticking point.
You will have to experiment whether you
will get the best results by gripping
throughout the lift or just at the sticking
point.
You cannot help noticing that your arms
have suddenly gotten a jolt of extra energy,
as if your tensing forearms have sent some
juice up into your triceps. Which is exactly
what has happened. Whenever a muscle
contracts, it irradiates “nerve force” around
it and increases the intensity of the
neighborhood muscles’ contraction. The
effect is strongest in your hands.

one more a few minutes later 4 or 5 times
a day. 2 weeks later she is doing 3
unassisted chins without leaving the bar
and yesterday's total was 15 unassisted
chins for the day. This stuff really works,
it is pure science for pure results!!!”
—Rick Giese - Casper, WY
Pavel has done a fantastic
job on this book, a must
read for all
“I briefly want to say that I will be forever
grateful to Pavel and his real world views
and knowledge of the body and what it
takes to really get in shape. I'm a 53 year
old two tour former Marine Sgt. Listen, I
had knee surgery a little over a year ago
and have tried everything to get my
strength back and nothing has worked --
until now! Pavel, man you have blown me
away with this program. Not just my
knees but my whole body are stronger by
the week -- and the side effect for me,
from reading this book and following the
program as it is written is; I know I am
going to lose some weight and get back
Any time, any place
“When I first purchased Naked Warrior
and began using GTG, I saw immediate
results. I GTG'd military presses with a 65
lb. dumbbell and when I first got my 70
lb. KB, I was able to press it 13 times at a
bodyweight of 175 lbs. When I
demonstrate the one arm, one leg pushup,
people look at me in amazement. I am
convinced that anyone using the
techniques outlined in this book will be
able to perform them in time. Being a law
enforcement officer, I am often in need of
strength training, but have little time or
equipment. I am able to maintain or build
strength, flexibility and balance with only
my body. When I finish a GTG set, I feel
powerful and energized. The secondary
effects of hypertrophy are an added
bonus. For those of you who are
concerned that there are few exercises
outlined here, you should know that the
principles in this book can be applied to
any lift and to many athletic endeavors. It
is a powerful system for physical culture.
Get this book.”

How to Instantly Increase Your Biceps Strength
With the Successive Induction Technique
Successive
An excerpt from Power induction is
to the People! by Pavel another one of the
Sherrington Laws
exploited to the
max by unscrupulous Commies.
According to this law, a contraction of a
muscle—say, the triceps—makes its
opposite number—in our case, the
biceps—stronger than usual. In the early
eighties scientists suggested that this
maneuver has a disinhibition effect. In
non-geek terms, when your triceps
powerfully contract, they send the
neural centers controlling the biceps a
message that your bis do not have to
hold back out of fear of an injury; if
things get out of hand the tris are strong enough to stop them!
A year later the same group of researchers determined that a
strength training program which employs antagonist pre-
tensing, or successive induction, is more effective than a
conventional one. The benefits of antagonist pre-contraction
do not stop at immediate performance improvement, but
include lasting changes in your strength.
Let the basic one-arm curl be the testing range of the effects of
successive induction. Perform a set of strict curls with a weight
that allows about five solid reps and make sure that your
elbow stays at your side and does not drift back. Note how
many reps you have done in good form.
Rest for five minutes and do another set of curls with the same
weight, but employ the new trick. Instead of lowering the
barbell with the braking strength of your biceps, try to “push”
the weight down and away from you with your triceps.
Imagine that you are doing a triceps cable pushdown with a
reverse grip.
You are guaranteed to squeeze out an extra rep or two with
this technique! And these reps will be super strict because now
you have two “motors” to control the weight instead of one.
Power to you!

Do you have a “power presence”?
The quiet strength of a man with whom, as Russians

a hand-to-hand combat expert whose efficiency in
violence is advertised, rather than hidden, by his serene

No. All top strength athletes use them, some

Praise for Pavel’s
Power to the People!
The Holy Grail of strength
training for the everyday
gym rat
“This is what I sought for 20+ years. As
simple and concise as a strength training
program can be, it is the complete antithesis
of what you read in the glossy muscle mags.
You have access to a barbell and plates and
want strength? After laying off the bench for
almost 5 years I am benching 275 for reps
after 2 1/2 months on Power to the People.
After laying off the deadlift for almost 5
years I just pulled 505 after the same 2 1/2
months.
You want size? My wife has forbidden me
from doing Pavel's “Russian Bear” since my
XL shirts no longer fit my back and my legs
won't fit my pants anymore. Sick of all those
nagging little injuries that come with
overtraining? Follow Pavel's protocol and
those days are over. You'll leave the gym
feeling just as energetic as you did coming in.
Don't hesitate in buying Power to the
People. It costs as much as five of those
glossy muscle mags that usually reprint the
same complicated routines in so many
different words. The difference is that Power
to the People's extremely simple program
delivers every bit of what it promises. Not
only will you not be disappointed, you will
be thrilled.”

Secrets are physiologic
principles often ignored
“This book sets out training protocols and
guidelines that are based on sound
physiologic principles. It is safe and effective.
I have trained for athletic competition for 30
years and tried most training strategies. I
have had just about every overuse injury you
can imagine. My gains over the years have
been good, but with peaks and troughs due
to intermittent injuries. The principles in
Power to the People will lead to steady gains
with no overuse injuries.
I believe that the principles put forth by
Pavel have made me a better triathlete and
enable me to out score most young Sailors
and Marines on the Physical Fitness Test. I
have never scored less than High outstanding
or first class and still max out on pushups,
situps and pullups. My 17-year old water
polo playing son follows the principles of

books and journals. That all changed when I
started reading Pavel's work. I knew right
away that I was on to something good and
he is fun to read.
My experience in industrial research told
me that Pavel uses good theory and he
always has immediate ways to demonstrate
the value of the theory. His discussion and
application of “The Law of Irradiation”
validated my gut feeling that Pavel knows his
stuff. Strength gains and progress have never
been so fast. In the last two months I have
added 100 pounds to my dead lift and 150
pounds to my health lift and I have been
adding weight very slowly keeping a focus on
“safety first,” “greasing the groove,” and
“practice not workout."
Over the 4th of July weekend, I found an
unexpected pay off. We went canoeing and
swimming in a reservoir. Past experience told
me I would be tired because I have not been
swimming for months and haven't been in a
canoe for almost a year. I never got tired nor
sore and I took my 10-year old son on a
three to four mile canoe ride. Instead of
getting tired, history!!! Fun and Power are
the future. I see people on the street and they
say, "You look great, what are you doing?"
My 10-year old son told his mom after our
canoe ride, "Mom, look at Dad, he looks like
the Russian." What a complement and
testimony that “Power to the People!”
delivers.”

30 years of practicing and teaching martial arts (Uechi/Shohei

with age, the "Super Joints" has helped to restore the flexibility

Joints of a teen again...
“At 37 years of age, my joints had already been cracking and
hurting in the morning. I sustained
an injury parachuting in the Air
Force in 1989 and since, have had
many back pains. I ordered Super
Joints figuring it would be good, as
all of Pavel's dvd's and books have
been excellent. The first day I went
through the dvd and did all the
joint mobility drills. I felt better
that day and over the course of the
following week noticed that in the
morning, my back wasn't as stiff
and my elbows didn't hurt. I would
highly recommend this dvd to
anyone that cares about their
joints.”

DON'T BE A FOOL
“There are two reasons for not doing Super Joints. #1 You
don't know about it. #2 You are a damn FOOL. I'm 49 and
have had knee trouble all my life. I have done those big squats
in my 20's and 30's (500lb+). I gave up squatting at 39 and for
the last 9 years I suffered with aching knees and was afraid to
squat. I have been doing Super Joints for the last 6 months

The older we get, the more important preventative maintenance
of our bodies becomes. Performing the movements in Super

right, you won't notice, but neglect it and it might cause serious
damage.

 Smash Your Training Plateaus, Overcome Injuries,
Make Unprecedented Strength Gains and
Grow More Muscle… with a Classical Education
in the Wisdom of the Past — and the Scientific
Breakthroughs of the Modern Day Masters
T
he fight for greater strength and muscle is
the story of a constant struggle against
conflicting forces…
Since ancient times — when strength
meant survival — to the more modern goals
of competitive excellence and physical culture, we’ve
fought a never-ending battle with our own bodies to
achieve and maintain maximum performance.
Because our bodies don’t want to change! And if
we make them, they’ll do their best to sabotage us!
Let’s face it… our bodies are reluctant partners in
the strength game…Anyone who’s been around the
block, knows this only too well:
The story of strength training is the story of
constantly adjusting, constantly engaging in a
guerrilla campaign of trickery and skullduggery
against our obstinate bods. A small victory here, a
setback there, a sudden breakthrough, another
setback, another breakthrough, a long stalemate,
another breakthrough … it never ends!
And many of us simply give up from sheer
frustration. We quit, when perhaps we could have
stayed ahead… We become content to slough back
into slackness and physical mediocrity…
And that’s mostly because we never got the
education we needed — to know how to win — and
keep winning — the guerrilla war against our own
bodies.
Of course, it doesn’t help, in this day and age, that
we also have to fight the myth-mongering marketers
of strength training half-truths, preying on our
ignorance to make a quick buck out of the gullible…
We have to fight against the machines, the gizmos,
the quick fixes, the absurd claims — and the
downright foolishness of most of what passes for
‘training advice’ in the magazines and gyms of our
country.
Fortunately, there is a solution to all the confusion,
ignorance and uncertainty…
When all else has failed you…

practice of practical strength and muscle training…

“I N THE TOP 5 OF
All Other Authors Should Just Give Up!
“This book is absolutely amazing. As far as
strength training goes, since I got this book
(over eighteen months ago), I have not
done a routine I found anywhere else. The
principles, programs, and advice given in it
are the absolute top available. As a personal
trainer, this has also been an invaluable
resource. With this book, I have:
• increased my bench press over
100lbs... and finally learnt how to
perform this movement properly
• increased my squat and deadlift over
200lbs each
• increased my push-up max from a
lame 25 to 76 in just six weeks
• gained approximately 20lbs of lean
body mass (note that this was not my
goal for the full eighteen months)
• ... among many other things
The push-up program was what I found
most impressive. After adding 26 reps to my
push-up max in just two weeks on the
program, I was of course going to keep the
program up... and so when college came
back, I made

“I lent my dog-eared copy to a friend
realizing I'd probably never get it back, so I
bought a second for myself. This book
helped me understand how to build
strength. The first regimen I took from the
book to build a base was the "Russian
Bodybuilding Underground Base Level
Pullup Program. It was the first time I
experienced significant growth in my
biceps, simply through body weight only
exercises. I'd spent years struggling with
curls for years with lackluster success.
Additionally, the squat routines have
resulted in gains as well. I highly

wants to pursue routines that deliver
results.”

“I keep reading this book again and again,
there's so much in it. With the Hit The Deck
Program I added about 25 pushups to my
max in 2 weeks, and before I knew it I
could do 100. There are lots of routines in
this book, they will keep you busy for a long
time. If you want to get strong, or big and
strong than this book is your choice.”
—Yoeri - Bocholtz, Netherlands
Immediate relief and gratification.
“I've been lifting weights since I was 12.
As a Martial Artist and Ex USAF
PARARESCUE SPECIALIST I have seen all
kinds of products and gimmicks through the
years. I'm 45 now and what I have read and
learned in this book changed my outlook
on lifting weights and saved my back
forever. In just 3 days of working with a few
techniques explained in SOLUTIONS FOR A
TIGHT BACK. Eliminated my lower and
upper back pain that I have lived with for
many years. If it wasn't for this book I would
have been forced to cancel a training
seminar that was planned for 6 months. A
must for all serious athletes and
professionals who need clear concise
instruction and tips to a STRONGER, PAIN
FREE BODY. PAVEL has taken the B.S out
and has given us information way ahead of
its TIME. It's your choice YOU CAN BE
MEDIOCRE OR YOU CAN EXCEL TO GREAT
STRENGHTHS!!”

Get More Power, More Energy, More Strength, More Agility,

Qi Cultivation
and the Secrets
of Manipulating
Energy
Chen Style Tai Chi
Progressive Silk
Reeling, Series I
DVD w/Jose Figueroa
1 hour 31 minutes
# DV053 $49.95
Chen, the original Tai Chi style, has
long been revered for its combination
of fluid grace, high energy, explosive
power and devastating martial
applications. Yet until recently, the
fundamental training required to truly
generate these remarkable results
remained the closely guarded secret of
the Chen Family’s own inner circle.
This all changed when the leading
modern-day Chen Style representative,
Grandmaster Chen Xiaowang, decided
to publicly reveal the true essentials
behind Chen’s superiority as a martial
art. Extracting and distilling the
absolute core principles of Chen Style,
he created the now-legendary Silk
Reeling Qigong system. To quote
Chen Xiaowang, Silk Reeling
represents the foundational roots, as
opposed to the leaves and branches, of
true martial mastery. A focus on
mastery of these foundational roots
will allow you to more quickly
develop high-level skills in ANY of the
myriad martial forms you may then to
choose to learn.

# DV054 $49.95
Grandmaster Ren Guan Yi—Chen
Xiaowang’s most senior disciple and
his leading representative in the US—
in turn passed this knowledge to Jose
Figueroa. Master Figueroa is uniquely
qualified to convey these essential
cultivation secrets in a way that makes
them immediately accessible to a
Western audience. After over 20 years
of dedicated classical Chen Style
practice, as the co-author of three
Chen Style books and with a highly
extensive teaching background, Jose
Figueroa is able to break down the
Silk Reeling methods with extreme
clarity, precision and attention to the
crucial detail.
According to the Chen Family, both
superior movement and the mastery of
Qi are grounded in impeccable body
mechanics. Immense emphasis is
placed on exact alignment, supreme
coordination of movement, proper
balance and a deep understanding of
relaxation and tension in the body.

1 hour 20 minutes
# DV055 $49.95
Jose Figueroa has developed a careful
progression of methods that ensure
practitioners develop a solid
foundation in each step of this
powerful system.
Individual movement sequences and
techniques are demonstrated from
three angles, followed by a highly
detailed explanation of every key
element needed to extract maximum
benefit from that method.
Series II develops the foundation
established in Series I, by progressively
introducing more complex and
intricate sequences. These more
advanced methods help refine your
movement, alignment and posture—
while further enhancing your strength
and your generation of energy.
Series III reveals many of the Chen
family’s inner secrets for developing Fa
Jing—that dramatically explosive
release of power, which is considered
to be a hallmark of their art. Series III
represents the culmination and
integration of all lessons learned in the
Progressive Silk Reeling program.

yet internally powerful grace

of your body

OH squats/side, 10 windmills/side, and finally 10 swings or
snatches/side.

series of upper body oriented exercises strung together in push-
pull fashion in order to prevent over-emphasizing one particular
movement pattern and to avoid burning out too early. Places
deliberate and unforgiving stress on the respiratory muscles.
The Leg Burner You ain’t kidding! If you’re not ready
for this you could feel like you’d sucked on gasoline then thrust a
burning torch down your throat. Could be called the lung burner
as well because of the intensity of this series. Just be prepared…
The Swing Workout Still standing? Then pound out
a series of swing variations interspersed with the hot potato drill
to allow the hip and thigh muscles to recover slightly, while
keeping the heart rate high and working the core in a different
way. The
The Slingshot But wait, there’s more savagery to be
enjoyed: between the legs pass variation of the Slingshot is
performed between sets of 2 handed drills including squats,
overhead push presses, tactical lunges, thrusters.
The Turkish Getup A good focus training as it is
difficult to breathe, concentrate on form, and keep pushing
through the fatigue at this stage of the training session. Also a
dynamite routine done on its own.

smacks to your battered body with this highly demanding
routine cunningly crafted to scorch the pre-fatigued core muscles
as well as hammer the last remnants of your cardiovascular
system.
